About Rottnest Island Trip

Voted Australia's best "Destination to Experience" in 2014, Rottnest Island is a special place where history and natural beauty present themselves to you al fresco. Secluded beaches and aboriginal historical sites have been made accessible for a lot of activities like hiking, surfing, and skydiving. There's no doubt this island has happiness to share. Just ask Quokka, the "happiest animal" in the world, who call this island their home. There's happiness in the water too. Just get a cruise to soak in the ocean with dolphins and seals.

 

Rottnest is the largest in a chain of islands that formed a connected land mass just 7000 years ago. The half-million visitors it gets everywhere have the Rottnest Island Authority to thank. So, if you see someone in a uniform, say thanks.
